I haven't see this particular washi craft yet, so here goes! :) Take an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of white or light-colored cardstock and fold it longways. Open it and fold it in half shortways, then without opening it, fold one more time longways so that you have a piece that's about 2-3/4" x 8-1/2". ( It sounds more complicated than it is because all you're doing is folding to make business cards.) Now open the paper up and completely cover one side in random pieces of washi. Any size pieces placed in any kind of pattern- or non pattern. Cover that entire thing with washi so no paper shows through on that one side. Press the washi down so it sticks well or you may want to carefully cover that side with clear packing tape so no washi peels up. Now, turn it over and carefully cut along the folded lines to make 8 cool, washi-covered swap cards for your partner. :) Send them in an envelope that's got some washi love on it along with a note with the swap name and your swapbot name. Have fun! (If you don't want to do all that folding, you can measure it out and lightly mark with a pencil. You may be able to cut this with a papercutter but don't let it nudge up your washi.) | |
